Well, you can do load balancing, but yes.. it is much improved (to say the
least) with his patches.  However, I misspoke.  I was referring to simple
routing for multiple providers.  That is, just routing back out on the
interface that traffic originates on.

Unfortunately, since I can't apply Julian's patches, any benefits I might
gain are not even worth consideration. :(  Since I tried to apply his
patches, and am unable to, please stop rubbing my nose in it. ;)  I am
aware that I am missing something, please don't make my loss seem ever
more painful ;P
